Geantet-Pansiot, Gevrey-Chambertin Le Poissenot, 2005

Le Poissenot, a Premier Cru perched on the upper slopes of Gevrey-Chambertin, from Geantet-Pansiot in the great 2005 vintage. This is one of the estate's flagship reds, and 2005's depth and structure suit the Geantets' generous, powerful house style perfectly. Now well into maturity, the wine has gained complexity while holding the firm backbone that marks both the cru and the vintage. A serious Premier Cru drinking near its peak, with life still ahead. Decant before serving.
